Dremel, schmemel!
Tin-snips take 1/100th the time and are much more emotionally satisfying! (I never did find a bit that worked decent with my dremel.
 ) |

If you try to cut a computer case with a Dremel, prepare to use 10 or more of the best cutting wheels

no squares lol. but you will cut many, many holes before the saws die on you. Yeah, it says wood and drywall but I've cut 3 holes so far with the one 80mm bit and it's still working fine
 For $7 (and like $4 shipping I think) I am not complaining |

Actually, a hole saw is a good way to start a square hole - especially when the diameter of the hole matches the length of the sides you need to cut.
Cut the hole with the round holesaw, then use tin snips, a hacksaw, a jigsaw or dremel to "square off" the circle. |
